Diagnostic Test

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2015 RAM 3500 HD and 2015 RAM 2500 HD. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.

VERIFY THE DTC IS ACTIVE
1. Turn the ignition on.
2. With the scan tool, record and erase DTCs.
3. With the scan tool, read the DTCs in the ASCM.
  Is the DTC active at this time?
  
  Yes
  - Go To 2
  No
  - Go To 5
(Y18) PRESSURE SENSOR SIGNAL CIRCUIT SHORTED TO VOLTAGE
1. Turn the ignition off.
2. Disconnect the ASCM C2 harness connector.
3. Disconnect the Air Suspension Solenoid Assembly harness connector.
4. Turn the ignition on.
5. Measure the voltage between ground and the (Y18) Pressure Sensor Signal circuit.
  Is any voltage present?
  
  Yes
  - Repair the (Y18) Pressure Sensor Signal circuit for a short to voltage.
  - Perform the ASCM VERIFICATION TEST. Refer to STANDARD PROCEDURE .
  No
  - Go To 3
(Y13) PRESSURE SENSOR RETURN CIRCUIT OPEN OR HIGH RESISTANCE
1. Measure the resistance of the (Y13) Pressure Sensor Return circuit between the ASCM C2 harness connector and the Air Suspension Solenoid Assembly harness connector.
  Is the resistance above 5.0 Ohms?
  
  Yes
  - Repair the (Y13) Pressure Sensor Return circuit for an open or high resistance.
  - Perform the ASCM VERIFICATION TEST. Refer to STANDARD PROCEDURE .
  No
  - Go To 4
AIR SUSPENSION COMPRESSOR ASSEMBLY
1. Connect the Air Suspension Compressor Assembly harness connector.
2. Measure the resistance between the (Y13) Pressure Sensor Return circuit and the (Y10) 5 Volt Supply circuit at the ASCM C2 harness connector.
  Is the resistance above 60k Ohms?
  
  Yes
  - Replace the Air Suspension Compressor Assembly in accordance with the Service Information. Refer to COMPRESSOR ASSEMBLY, AIR SUSPENSION, REMOVAL .
  - Perform the ASCM VERIFICATION TEST. Refer to STANDARD PROCEDURE .
  No
  - Replace the Air Suspension Control Module (ASCM) in accordance with the Service Information. Refer to MODULE, AIR SUSPENSION CONTROL, REMOVAL .
  - Perform the ASCM VERIFICATION TEST. Refer to STANDARD PROCEDURE .
INTERMITTENT WIRING, CONNECTORS AND AIR LINES
1. Inspect the intake and exhaust air lines for restrictions, debris, or contamination.
2. Using the wiring diagram/schematic as a guide, inspect the wiring harness and connectors.
3. Wiggle test the wiring harness and connectors while monitoring the scan tool data relative to this circuit.
4. Look for the data to change or for the DTC to reset during the wiggle test.
5. While monitoring the scan tool data relative to this circuit, move the selector switch to each position several times.
6. Look for the data to change other than as expected or for the DTC to reset.
  Were any problems found?
  
  Yes
  - Repair as necessary.
  - Perform the ASCM VERIFICATION TEST. Refer to STANDARD PROCEDURE .
  No
  - Test complete, the condition or conditions that originally set this DTC are not present at this time.
